While most school day start/end times will remain consistent, route pickup times will change between 5 and 25 minutes. These changes are being made to help us keep bus routes running safely and on time across our 1,100-square-mile district.
If your child rides the bus, they may need to leave earlier. Exact bus stop pick-up times will be released later this summer through the StopFinder app. Families: Remember to register your child to ride the bus next year as soon as possible so you will get updates on the new times.
